Innocent Till Proven Guilty

A/N: Boring I now but have to do this. I do not own Gallagher Girls. All characters are from book and I might get info wrong so sorry but I like to mix things up.

Chapter Four

"EXPLAIN!" Macey forcefully tells me and I can't help but think that this is never going to work.

"I don't know. It was at lunch time, I came up for a shower and it was just there. If it is from my dad then I guess I thought I should probably keep it a secret because well it's my dad. As in the dad that I haven't seen in years. He's in trouble and he needs my help. I guess I just thought no one should know until I had more details." I admit.
"What happens if it wasn't him?" Bex asks clearly annoyed that I haven't told her anything.
"I can hope that he's alive. You have all seen your dad recently. You know they are safe, I don't. You would all have done the same as me if you were in my position." I stare each one in the eye daring them to try and say they wouldn't.
"Cam, we just want you to be safe." Liz tries to say but I cut her off.
"I want my dad to be safe. So I'm guessing we are all seeing him tomorrow then." I sigh when they all nod their heads enthusiastically. We end up spending half the night deciding what are plans are going to be.

Pros and Cons of being a Gallagher Girl

Pro: You get Sisters.

Pro: They know you.
Con: They know you too much.
Pro: You never have to go through things alone.
Con: Sometimes it's for the best that you do it alone.
Pro: They make you look beautiful.
Con: It takes them 1hour and 53minutes to be deemed 'good enough' to see your dad after 5years.

"Finished." Macey announces. All the girls' crowd round me to see what Macey has created. My light blonde hair was curled in soft ringlets, my hazel eyes had been dramatized by the mascara and brown eye-shadow. I wore a baby blue t-shirt and ¾ length jeans, red converses and I was ready to meet my dad for the first time in 5years.

"What's the time?" Bex asked like she didn't already know.
"1.24. We better get going." Macey says. We all walk away from the crowd, each going in our assigned places just in case it isn't dad. I walk around the back of the cinema and wait for dad to appear. I stand there for anther 5minutes and 29seconds. I hear footsteps and I get ready for whoever is about to come that way. The back entrance to the cinema opens and a middle aged man walks out wearing a suit.
"Cammie?" The man sounds like my dad but his features have changed.
"Yes. What were my best friend's names before you left?" I ask making sure it really is my dad.
"Rebecca Baxter, Elizabeth Sutton and monks the monkey." He tells me cracking a smile. Monks the monkey was my favourite toy that we got from the zoo when I was 7. It was the best family day out because my parents were on a mission and we got to go to the zoo. We ended up being trailed and went through numerous cages before finally getting to the gift store which was how to exit. My coat got caught on the toy monkey and dad took the monkey to save us time. I still have it under my bed as a remembrance of us as a family.
"Daddy!" I squeal and run into his arm. He tightens his grip around me and smells me.
"You are so grown up." He whispers into my hair. "You look so much like your mum. So beautiful. I have missed you so much cupcake."
"I've missed you too daddy." I lay my head on his chest. "Oh and daddy, some of my friends found out about this." I tell him and then the three girls walk out from where they were hiding.
"Of course they did, there your sisters. You trust them I presume." He asks looking at my best friends.
"Of course I do! Daddy you obviously remember Bex." I point at Bex and he nods. She walks over.
"Heyya Mr. M, little advice, don't call me Rebecca if you want to survive." She puts on an innocent smile and walks back to where she was before.
"Of course Bex, I remember but sometimes nicknames change and I just wanted to make sure. Sorry." Daddy tells her, knowing she wasn't kidding about him being killed. "Liz, you look so thin, what is my wife feeding you?" He jokes and wraps Liz in a little hug.
"We are glad to finally have you back Mr Morgan." She stutters.
"And if I didn't know any better I would think you, Miss Macey McHenry, are a Gallagher girl." Matthew Morgan jokes. Macey puts a smile on her face.
"It is true, I have joined the force. It is a pleasure to meet you." She tells him honestly and puts her hand out for him to shake. Instead he engulfs her into a hug and I can't help but be ecstatic that my daddy is finally back.
"Okay as much as I'm happy you are back, what do you need our help with?" Bex asks still looking at all exits.
"You will definitely make a good spy Bex. Now I would tell you but I can't give any information out this public so I will do what I did the last time. Girls, could you give me and Cammie and moment please?" My daddy asks and the others go back down the streets they were on before. I walk over to my dad and we have another hug. "Cammie, watch closely. Watch everyone, and be careful. I love you and take care of your mum." He kisses my forehead and walks back through the cinema. I walk through one of the streets. I meet the girls at the front of the cinema and we all head back to one of the smoothie shops.
"Your dad thought I was a good spy. I actually can't believe it!" Bex tells us while skipping. Bex never skips so it's actually worrying that she is doing it right now.
"I just can't believe he is alive." I admit with a big grin on my face.
"This going to be so fun." Macey says. "And it's safe to say he still looks amazing."
"Aw thanks Mac, your pretty good yourself just not as good as little Cammie." Zach tells us throwing his arms over mine and Macey's shoulder.
"Get your hand off me before I show you about our laser lipstick." I threaten and he quickly removes his arms from our shoulders.
"Cam, you are no fun anymore!" Zach pouts at me.
"Thanks Zach, you are just too nice." I say sarcastically.
"Stop you guys before we have another spy war." Bex jokes but I think we all know how true the words are.
"Sure, hey look, there's the arcade! Come on!" Grant practically pulls Bex over to it and we all follow. We all go over to get some coins and then go over to where we want to play.
"Cam, you're playing ice-hockey with me." Zach points over to where it is and I follow. He puts in the coins and we both head to one of the ends. The puck starts on my side. "Cammie, I'm really sorry about the way I've been acting. I just don't know what to say to you." His smirk disappears and I can see worry in his eyes.
"I guess when you left I didn't know what to do because I just thought we would never see each other again. Then you turn up again and guess what happens to come into my life a few hours after you? DRAMA!" I whisper forcefully.
"Well like I said Gallagher Girl, at least I'm here to save you." He jokes and pulls out his signature smirk. If it wasn't for that one voice I think he might have been dead. Of course I've never tried killing someone with a puck while in an arcade but there's a first for everything.
"Cammie." I whirled around at my name and I see Josh.
"Josh!" I grin and run over to him. "How are you since yesterday?" I ask giving him a quick hug.
"Good. My mum loved the bracelet, I was telling them about it all and dad told me he wanted to see you again." He informs me, his cheeks going the tiniest shade pink.
"Yeah totally. Let's see him now Hey Zach could you do me a massive favour and tell the girls where I've gone?" I ask looking at an angry Zach. Before he can answer I take Josh's' hand and we walk out of the arcade. For the first time I am the one to walk away from Zach Goode.
"So I'm guessing that was the boy you were talking about?" Josh asked looking behind us to find Zach.
"Ugh- yeah. Don't worry though, I think I'm giving the message that I'm over him." I answer not even caring who can hear the conversation. "So how are you and Deedee?" I ask because the last time I saw them they were in a relationship.
"Not good. I don't really talk to her seeing as she slept with a random boy while we were dating." He growls.
"That's terrible. I'm really sorry." I say because there is nothing else I can really do.
"It's fine. It was always going to happen. Doesn't matter." He shrugs it off and I can tell he truly means it. Sometimes, being a spy really can help. "We don't have to visit my parents now; I just thought you could use an escape route." He admits to me.
"No I would love to see them." I reply and give him a reassuring smile. He smiles back at me and his hand slips into mine. His hand feels so big against mine. I have always had small hands but I never imagined them to feel this small. I could feel the electricity radiating from it and I just look at both our hands. After a few seconds of thinking about how surreal this was I decided to just walk with Josh like this. We didn't talk after that; it was fine, just walking in silence. I think sometimes that's how you can tell whether or not you are going to get on really well, if it doesn't feel awkward when not talking. When it's just me and the girls we can sit for hours doing our homework, not talking to each other, and still feel like we had a really good conversation. We were on the road to his dads business when Josh's friends and Deedee walk up to us. Josh's muscles stiffen and I can tell this isn't going to be good. I don't know whether it is spy intuition or just a normal person's intuition, either way I knew this was going to be bad.
"I see the snotty princess has finally graced us with her present." Dillon calls over.
"Shut up Dillon." Josh fires back.
"So this was what you were up to behind me back." Deedee looks me over deciding whether or not I was trash.
"I think you will find that you were the one seeing people- or fucking people- behind my back." I stand there awkwardly wishing that I could just be the Chamberlin.
"That wasn't my fault if you remember correctly I told you what happened." Deedee hissed at him.
"He says different and I believe him." Josh says so calmly that you could never tell they were talking about her cheating on him.
"And you believe him over your girlfriend?" She pouts and I roll my eyes at how she is acting.
"What's he got to lose? Anyways, it's ex-girlfriend." Josh grabs my arm and we walk over to his dad's pharmacist.
"You okay?" I ask rubbing his arm. He looks over and must see the concern in my face because he lets out one of his beautiful smiles. A smile that makes me think if I wasn't a normal girl I probably would have swooned.
"Yeah I'm fine. I just can't believe I was such an idiot and was friends with them." He confessed.
"We are all allowed to make mistakes. How else are we going to improve?" I tell him, remembering that's what my daddy used to tell me every time something went wrong. Just remembering that he's alive gives me something to hold onto. A normal family, well as normal as you can be for a spy family.
"I guess you are right." He chuckles and opens the door to the pharmacist, making the bell ring that someone is entering. "Heyya mum, dad." Josh kisses his mum on the cheek and I think how sweet that is. Not many boys still kiss their mums on the cheek, especially when they are with their friends.
"When I mentioned about seeing Cameron again I wasn't expecting it to be this quick." His dad says and wraps me up in a hug.
"I happened to see Josh and he asked about seeing you guys. I didn't have anything to do today so I thought we could do it now." I answer them before giving Mrs Abrams a hug.
"Well we are not complaining." She tells me. "How is school at the moment?"
"Really good. I feel sad that this will be my last year. The girls in the school are like my sisters so it's going to be different waking up and them not being there." I somehow manage to always speak the truth when I'm with the Abrams. If they asked me point blank if I was a spy I would probably end up telling them yes.
"Josh can't wait to get out of high school, can you?" Mrs Abram says looking over to her oldest child for confirmation.
"No, I'm just ready for the next stage in my life I guess. I know I will miss some of the people in my year but not all of them." We all knew who Josh meant at the end.
"At least you don't talk to them anymore. I never did like them. It's a mother's awareness." I chuckle quietly at how much of an opposite she is to my mum. Josh smiles at her, completely okay with her trashing his ex-friends. "So you got any boys chancing after you Cammie?" She asks with a glint in her eyes. Josh groaned but she shushed him.
"No I'm just getting over one as we speak." I tell her trying to make it sound like what Zach and I went through was completely normal.
"Josh knows how you feel. Deedee was dreadful to our little boy. For the little time we knew you, I would have to say you were much better." I think I'm in love with his mum. She's like Bex, just says what she feels.
"We are going to go now." Josh tells them shaking his head. I wave at them before getting pulled out the door. "I'm sorry about them. They are just… I don't know what they are. I guess I will just blame it on they don't get out much and that they missed you." I let out a laugh.
"It's okay. I missed them too and I think they are just amazing." I capture his hand in mine and start swinging them.
"If it mas you this happy to see them we can always meet them. Although, I'm pretty gutted that you prefer them to me." He fake pouted and I let out another laugh.
"I definitely prefer you." I tell him looking over when we just randomly stop.
"You sure?" He asks stepping so our bodies were touching.
"Positive." I answer rather breathlessly. Before either of us say anything else he bends down and kisses me. It's soft and gentle at first, testing that we were both okay with what we were doing. We deepen the kiss and I place my hands round his neck while he snakes his around my neck. His tongue seeks entrance into my mouth and I gladly accept it. With both of us having a tongue dance we were both wrapped up in each other. We eventually broke away from each other but placed our foreheads on each other's and breathed heavily.
"I missed you." He states rather huskily. "I missed you too." I answer back placing one gentle kiss on his nose. I garb is hand and hold it firmly in mine and carry on walking. We sneak glances at each other and just grin whenever we catch each other's eyes. Finally he removes his hand from mine and just wraps his arm around my waist, making me closer to his body. I wrap my arm round his waist and carry on walking. We just walk around the town, not taking notice of what was happening around us. We didn't need to, we were just teenagers and we had Gallagher girls and Blackthorne boys all around us. I saw some giving us curious stares but I shrugged it off. I talked to him about my best friends and he talked about his family. I talked about gymnastics and he talked about soccer. We ended up laughing at the same things and I was having a wonderful time.
"Cammie!" I hear someone shout and I look over to see Jonas.
"Hey what's up?" I ask. He looks over at Josh and turns his curious eyes back at me. "Jonas this is Josh, a very good friend. Josh this is one of the smartest and trust worthy people I know, Jonas." I introduce them but then look back over to Jonas for the news.
"We need to leave now. Someone saw Zach's' mum and she's looking for you." Jonas looks around worried and he drags me with him. I drag Josh with me because we still are wrapped around each other.
"What's happening?" Josh asked.
"Zach's mum isn't a good person and we need to go back to Gallagher Girls. You are coming with me Josh, okay? I will give you answers later but right now just do what I say." I instruct going into spy mode. Checking everyone around me to see if I had seen them more than twice. Jonas looked out of his comfort zone but then I guess he was always behind the safety of a computer not on the firing line. Josh just gripped onto my hand, I squeezed back on numerous occasions to try and comfort him but I doubt it did anything. I think I was the only one out of the three who could deal with this situation on a daily basis. And they say men are better than girls, Pfft. We walked down the busy streets not meeting a single Gallagher girl or Blackthorne boy. I normally would be scared but I trusted them all to be there best and there best was good enough. Jonas directed us through an alley way and I took the rear in case someone came that way and hurt Josh. Jonas had practice in these situations whereas Josh did not. This meant that he had to go in the middle as he needed protection the most. I noticed the school van was parked on the other side of the alley and I hoped we could make a quick getaway. The van door opened and all three of us jumped into the car.
"Run!" I shout as soon as I get into the van. As I close the door Macey presses her foot on the pedal as fast as she can and everyone in the van ends up falling. I notice some of my year were in the van and Jonas, Josh and I tried to find seats. There were only two left and so I ended up sitting on Josh's lap.
"What's the plan?" I ask looking around the van.
"Get back to Gallagher and tell the teachers what happened." Zach told me and I just nod my head. I knew if we weren't in a life or death situation I probably would have got comments about Josh. So I consider myself lucky right now. We manage to get back to school in 3minutes and 28seconds, with no tails. We all head out of the van and walk to the teachers we were supposed to go to. I, along with Bex, Liz, Macey, Jonas and Josh were going to my mum as we were the people closest to her. Well the girls were, Jonas wanted to come to be with Liz and Josh needed to come so we could explain why he would be staying here. We all walk quickly to my mum's office and without waiting to knock I open the door.
"Mum- we have a problem!" I shout before I realise what I'm seeing. My mum. Mr Solomon. Kissing! "What the hell are you doing?" I scream and before anyone can say anything else I fled the room, going to a secret passageway I had never told anyone about. I guess sometimes you need to get away from people. This is the second time in 24houres. I guess I can't blame Zach for every type of drama because he couldn't have made family drama. My mum kissed Joe Solomon when she knows my dad is alive. FML!
